Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

The first two games we thought it was awesome, then one shank after the other

3 really solid games, then all over the place.
Ga State - 47
BYU - 45.7
UTC - 57
FL - 39.4
GA - 33.4
MS - 46.3
BAMA -38

Should be due a good performance.
That or we just score every posession and take them out of the equation.

iirc, paxton has punted some lately instead of doyle, right? not sure why the switch...but yeah, inconsistent for sure.

Hey @MoCo_Vol ...why don't you let Newt have it? He is just as disgusted as I am by that loser.

Because newt isn't an ******* like you when someone disagrees with him, pastor.

He did some last week, assuming because of the drop in production but he was even worse. Think he did a game early on also.

I'm not too worried, 2 of the 3 rough showings were road games. And all 3 were to big time teams. Nerves, better pressure etc. likely all factors there.

But I agree, the more they watch us the better!

 

[Batman1948]

Hey did you guys know Ryan hillinskis brother passed away?

Hardly ever gets mentioned.

That's not right. Suicide is not a laughing matter.

It's amazing how well this freshman class attacks the ball. Just a bunch of studs in this class. Toot, Crouch, Tank, and guys like Fields and Beasley who we likely won't see until spring ball. Then Middleton is slowly turning into a stud. You add guys like Lawrence, Art Green, the trio, Thomas, Hardy & Baron and this program will arrive next season, with two NFL bookend tackles.

yeah the defense has a VERY bright future. It will carry the team the next couple of years till Bailey comes into his own then we on baby, we on.

100% agree, but the broadcasters don't need to bring it up every game either, which I think is the point.

 

[LA Vol]

Win the field position battle. No TOs. Run effectively against the SCAR D. Stop Feaster and force Hilinski to throw. Get SCAR to give up the big plays, which they're prone to do.

Muschamp said Hilinski had a great week of practice while JG's was unspeakably bad. We need Chaney to make Shrout the new Maurer. (Or get the old Maurer back.)

Plus, Harrison & Elijah (seems to be getting a RS) and you still have other Freshmen on the team that could be developed too in Solomon.

Offensive guys got some serious upside too, since we're older on that side of the ball haven't seen as many of them yet.

We need lots of rain to minimize Hilinski.

 

[drvenner]

Use the Mississippi State defensive game plan. Make their QB beat us. I seem to remember that that worked quite well...

I agree. If we can limit Feaster and make Hellinski (or whatever his name is) make some tough throws, and take care of the ball, we have a pretty good shot.

Hell at this point, maybe JG having a bad week in practice is what we need from him. Every week he's had a "great" week of practice hasn't translated on the field...

 

[InstrumentalVol]

He's a complete piece of sh!t that embodies the horribly negative, vapid place VN & sports fandom can be. From wishing opponents tear their ACLS to being upset media he chooses to watch talks about the loss of a brother - all because they dont wear orange. My friend killed themselves earlier this year and the pain it caused their family, their loved ones is unimaginable. Thank god he & others on this board dont completely encapsulate the spirit of Vol fans. We will be at the game and hold up 3 fingers to show respect to his Helinksi's brother because we arent inbred ****ing trash like this guy.

Seriously, log off here for a few weeks and it does your mind good not having to read trash like this guy and countless others here who revel in negativity over a football team.

[OGbabyaviVol]

Butch has made it clear that he'll sue if UT doesn't pay him out. UT doesn't want the Title IX stuff dredged up, so he has the leverage. We want to move forward and leave that chapter behind. So we'll pay him out, and afterward, hopefully he'll cut all ties to Knoxville and leave the SEC.

Maybe the university should threaten to dredge up his handling of Drae Bowles, and basically telling the team to take care of the situation? Or maybe dredge up his treatment of the players? Or maybe dredge up that it was a crime how he tanked the last season on purpose so he could get his buyout? I’m sure there are plenty of witnesses about some of the things he did that wouldn’t be viewed as acceptable to the public eye. I’m sorry, but this is our university’s problem...we need to grow a set and quit being bullied about what might happen if we confront situations that might be uncomfortable. Just like the terrible officiating...grow a set and speak out on it.

 

[drvenner]

Is that from Tim Jordan? He is such a good dude.

hell, volnation dredges it all up once a week.

 

[drvenner]

Hoping the defense stands out this weekend. Stuff Feaster and hit Hilinski often. We do that and it might not matter who plays QB.

Feaster ain't gon eat this week.

 

[drvenner]

@InVOLuntary your Powell Panthers had a nice rally last night against Oak Ridge to stay undefeated. I hope you all win the state. Pretty fun team to watch.

 

[drvenner]

This is where Shrout goes 20-24 387 yards 4 TD and 1 INT and everyone is angry at Pruitt for playing Maurer

If that happens, I will throw up my hands, but still relish the win, LOL.

 

[drvenner]

If it is Shrout, everyone is going to think that they're going to ease him into the flow of the game with some easy passes. We need to fake the slip screen and let him throw it deep on the very first play.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I don't know, I've seen a lot of improvement in the secondary. I'm not as worried about them throwing the ball all over the yard.

1. we've been able to generate pass rush the last 3 games, 2 of which were against two of the best SEC teams
2. poor weather

So if we can keep our defense fresh by not turning it over and being able to run the ball, I like our chances. Would be happy with whoever our QB is only needing to toss 15 or so passes.
